tussah silk

Has anyone tried using tussah silk in lotion? I'm out of liquid silk. I just have foaming silk and no - not in my lotion. I have an entire bag of tussah silk. I want to add it to the water phase and strain when I combine the water and oil. Any thoughts? Is this stupid to attempt?

Does anybody know where I can get tussah silk in the Vancouver, BC area? Voyageur doesn't sell it, neither does Otion. They both sell the liquid silk & it is horribly expensive, about $30 for a 5lb batch. I have googled it & not come up with much.
